Talk20 Hutch on Jan. 22

Talk20 Hutch is January 22, at 7 p.m. in the Hutchinson Public Library. The library is at 901 N. Main. This is the fifth installment of Talk20 Hutch. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Talk20 Hutch brings people together to learn, listen, and engage over a variety of topics. The event is free and open to the public. The after party is at Carl’s Bar, 103 N. Main, in downtown Hutchinson. People are encouraged to continue the conversation at Carl’s after the structured event at the library. Those under 21 are welcome.

Ten community members show 20 photographs, and speak for only 20 seconds per slide (a total of a little over 6 minutes). The slides are on a timer, so the format is set. The total time of the event is around 90 minutes, including a 10 minute intermission halfway through.

“Talk20 is all about people’s passions,” says Patsy Terrell, one of the organizers. “People in our community have fascinating stories to tell.”

These are the participants for Talk20 Hutch:

Kathie L. Moore – Little House IN the Prairie

Kayann Ausherman – Take a leap, then grow wings.
